A boy scout has 4 meters of rope. He cuts the rope into cords 3/5 m long. How many cords will he make?

1 answer:

8 0

Original length of the rope = 4m

Size of each piece = 3/5 m.

No of cords of same size formed will be

$4 \div \frac{3}{5} \\ = 4 \times \frac{5}{3} \\ = \frac{20}{3} \\ = 6 \frac{2}{3}$

$Therefore \: the \: person \: will \: make \: \: 6 \frac{2}{3 \: } cords.$

Regular hexagon FGHIJK shares a common center with square ABCD on a coordinate plane. AB || FG. Across which line can be combine

nlexa [21]

Answer: The answer is the yellow lines in the attached figure.

Step-by-step explanation: As shown in the attached figure, regular hexagon FGHIJK and square ABCD shares common centre on the co-ordinate plane and AB || FG.

We are to find the line across which the combined figure will reflect onto itself.

In the attached figure, we see two lines which are yellow in colour. We can easily detect that the figure will be reflected onto itself if these two lines acts as a mirror separately.

Hence these yellow lines are the required lines.
